AN OPEN LETTER to THE U.S. CONGRESS

Support the Food Date Labeling Act (H.R. 3159 and S. 1484)

730 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

Food waste is a huge problem in our country, so I am writing to ask that you support the Food Date Labeling Act (H.R. 3159 and S. 1484).

This bill would clear up confusion about “best-used-by” and other labels by establishing requirements for quality and discard dates in food packaging. Currently, there is no federal regulation for date labels. This means that consumers, confused by different types of labels, end up discarding edible food. 

Food waste results in households wasting money and exacerbates climate change. Food waste is responsible for about 6% of total US GHG emissions. The nonprofit ReFED found that reducing food waste could generate $73 billion in financial benefit, recover the equivalent of 4 billion meals for food insecure individuals, save 4 trillion gallons of water, and avoid 75 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually in the US.
 
Thank you for your support of legislation that would enable consumers to save money while mitigating climate change.

This guys video is very insightful in retrospect to leather goods and products. Before I got into leatherwork myself I'd see in the stores constantly belts and wallets that were marked as "genuine leather" but they didnt last and tore up easily. So for those interested in purchasing leather products please do some research into them before spending that hard earned money. On Etsy I tend to look at the market on leather goods and prices and there is noticable difference. For example if you look up briefcases you get swarmed with a bunch of them for $80 to $100 and all those are stated to be made with genuine leather. But if you dig deeper you see some for $300 or higher and those talk about the type of grain and leather used which shows those are full on leather products. Not the cheap filler laced with leather.

Pratham Waghmare is doing Scam & doing Fraud

In my vision, he's exactly the same as other scammers who entice you in buying their products.

This guy charges more than 50,000 Rupees to buy his course on “How to achieve the success just like he did"

It's like a comedy scene from Tamizh cinema :

Actor Vadivelu hosts a meeting with an entry fee of 1000 Rupees and with the title as “How to become a millionaire in a single day".

To everyone's surprise, he told them,

“Host a meeting exactly like this and collect the entry fee. Then tell them to host their own meeting with the same title and this trick. You'll get rich in no time"

Yep, they beat him to a pulp.

All the fancy cars, the house and everything in his Instagram page is just to entice you. To lure you into his traps.

He even had a “Business meet" with Herbalife CEO.

Partnering up with the “Pyramid scheme" legends? Why would a legit business man do that?

Why would he charge you 50K Rupees even if he's already a millionaire?

Forget it, why would he even charge you IF - his goal is to make you rich?

Why would he pay Forbes to write his success journey?

Why did he edit out the “Paid post" tag from the picture (screen shot of Forbes article) he uploaded on Instagram?

Why is he dying to prove that his “customers" are earning more than they invested in Instagram?

If anyone talks crap instead of coming to the point like “I bought a luxury house within 3 weeks", “I got this super car delivered just now", “I'm living in the tallest building here in my area"… all these “boasting" things are a trap.

They will play with your financial struggles. If they had a scent of you thinking “Oh! If only I made that amount of money", they will shove all their brainwashing methods down your throat.

Why? Just to become rich by robbing you.

So don't be like a moth to a flame. Think twice.

In my view, this Pratham along with his “business buddies" are nothing but SCUMS of the Earth. I'll even respect Janitors or any other people who you expect to be a “low class" status quo. As long as they live by morals, it's fine by me.

Do you know why SCUMS like these piss me off?

It was a time when I was studying 5th standard. My mother had received an email from “Coca-cola" stating that she had won a ton of cash as a prize.

So to redeem that cash, all she had to do was send 40K Rupees to them.

As my mother is innocent and always trusts people, (Yes, it's just as you thought it was going to be) She sent the money without informing anyone about this.

Yes, The money was long gone.

Even I would have stopped if she had told me about the email. I'm pretty sure I would have sent those scammers an email to deduct the 40K from the prize amount and send us the remaining amount (sarcastically of course)

Being Innocent

Greedy to earn money without any hardwork (some MLM scammers say that you should do hardwork. I'm not talking about that hardwork i.e making your friends and relatives falling into the same trap)

Scamming innocent and financially vulnerable people

Which is the wrong one here?

The choice is yours.

If you ever wish to know how these scammers operate, I'd suggest you to watch James Jani channel on YouTube

This is the longest answer I've written on the internet.

Why? Just for people who are in search for an easy life and falling prey to these cunning foxes.

Remember, there's nothing as an easy life. Work hard and pave your way. You won't regret it.

Don’t Let Your Move End Up With a Bad Aftertaste! 🍛🚫

I’m standing outside the legendary Rameshwaram Cafe, where everything is delicious and absolutely authentic. Unfortunately, the moving industry isn't always as transparent as the food here!

Just like you wouldn’t settle for a "fake" dosa, you shouldn’t settle for a "fake" mover. Hiring a ghost company is the ultimate way to ruin your appetite and your peace of mind. Why pay for a "moving scam" that leaves you with nothing but a bad taste in your mouth?

Don't fall for the digital menu of lies:

Check the ingredients: Always verify the business’s physical address.

Demand a taste test: Ask for a live video walkthrough of their warehouse.

Don't swallow the bait: Never pay in full before verifying the service provider.

Get the real deal, and leave the "scams" for someone else’s plate. Stay hungry for justice and stay safe! 🚛💪
